Paperback. Zustand: Good. International voices from across the globe come together in Art Therapy and the Creative Process to share their perspectives on art, the artist's process, and how art has been therapeutic for them. In the first section, the three primary contributors--Alfredo Zotti, Samuel Mann, and Cynthia Pearson--create a triple commentary on a piece of art. Zotti paints a picture, Mann analyzes it, and Pearson writes a poem to complement it. In later sections, various artists share why they write, paint, play music, or take photographs, including what their individual mediums mean to them, what they may mean to others, why they have chosen various art forms, how art allows them an opportunity to escape from the world, and how it can also help them heal. Artists will find kindred spirits in these pages. Lovers of literature, music, and art in all its forms will gain insight into artists' souls, how they view the world a little differently, and why. Art Therapy and the Creative Process gives art a purpose beyond what most of us usually think of it having--that art is a way to keep us all sane in a maddening world and it gives us the opportunity to create something to heal that same world that wounds us. Art Therapy and the Creative Process is a fascinating, multi-perspective look at art. I found myself resonating with many of the pieces here. Art allows us to take control of the uncontrollable and make meaning out of chaos. Viewing art as therapy opens the door to a new understanding between art, science, and psychology. -- Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph.D. and award-winning author of The Best Place and Narrow Lives Creative activities heal. They lift us out of suffering for awhile. They validate us when we feel damaged and worthless. And, over time, they can transform our perception of our world, so that we change from sufferers to survivors, and even joyful surmounters. Art Therapy and the Creative Process can be a shining example for those who want a way out of a personal hell. --Bob Rich, PhD, psychologist and author Personal stories and insight in the process of healing are at once empowering and therapeutic. Unlike the standardized medical therapies, healing via art, as sampled in this anthology, is the natural and most effective key to our most valuable asset--our health. --Ernest Dempsey, editor, Word Matters Learn more at www.AlfredoZotti.com Art: Criticism & Theory.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Consider this book your ally as you move deeper into the adventure of creativity. Syncreate is about the synergy of co-creation; it embodies the spirit of collaboration. Think of it as an approach to creative project management that can be used by anyone from students to artists and individuals to organizational teams. The Syncreate approach distills the creative process into three main components: Play, Plan, and Produce. These stages can help us to achieve our macro-level, big picture goals as well as our daily, micro-level activities. "Developing better right-brain functionality can be incredibly difficult without some kind of easy-to-follow process. Enter Syncreate, a simple but sophisticated twelve-chapter guide for individuals, teams and communities who want to more successfully steer their creative journey." -Hugh Forrest, South by Southwest (SXSW), Chief Programming Officer "Syncreate is a clear and nicely organized gem of a book, from multidisciplinary talented and experienced guides and role models. You will become creatively empowered, individually and in community. Highly recommended." -Ruth Richards, M.D., Ph.D., Author of Everyday Creativity and the Healthy Mind: Dynamic New Paths for Self and Society "The Syncreate process looks at everything important: the individual, team and community process of creativity in a practical, yet poignant manner.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Talking to paper is talking to the divine. Paper is infinitely patient. Each time you scratch on it, you trace part of yourself, and thus part of the world, and thus part of the grammar of the universe. It is a huge language, but each of us tracks his or her particular understanding of it." -from A Walk Between Heaven and Earth Unlike any other guide to journal writing, A Walk Between Heaven and Earth is itself written as a personal journal and as a meditation on the flow of creation. Burghild Nina Holzer demonstrates that the creative process is in fact a large, ongoing movement in our lives and that we may gradually discover the pattern and direction of it by trusting whatever it is we choose to confide to the page. She helps would-be writers recognize the power and importance of opening themselves to the present moment and recording whatever they find there. Holzer's book is both inspiration and model. It will appeal not only to those who wish to explore the creative process as a mystical path, but to all who desire to express themselves through writing.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This is considered by many Troward's masterpiece. It embodies his maturest thought, chapter 1-10 amounting to a textbook of his teaching. The Creative Process begins with the Cosmic process and eventuates in the individual's use of Mind to further the process.FROM THE PUBLISHER: This DeVorss edition takes the liberty of helping the reader by (1) introducing paragrahing, as Troward's paragraphs are exceedingly long; (2) introducing punctuation to ease the reading and (3) closing up some words that in Troward's day were hyphenated. Also footnotes have been added to help in the translation of many foreign terms and phrases. Finally, several errors that have disserved this work for almost a century have at last been dealt with.…
